Lyrics for Sing It Pretty, Sue

So you gave up all between us for a glamorous career And with all your talent, you should be the big star of the year Then you'll be public property, so, I release my claim to you Go on and give 'em all you've got, sing it pretty Sue I can't take just part of you and give the world a half So, smile for all the papers and give 'em autographs Go on to all the cities so your public can see you But I'll watch on television, so, sing it pretty, Sue I hope you'll soon be on the top of every hit parade I'll try to be excited 'bout the progress that you've made I'll collect your pictures like any fan would do And I'll buy all your records, so, sing it pretty Sue But I won't ever tell a soul that we have ever met I'll just be one of millions who'll give the praise you get And maybe every year or so, I'll drop a card to you To tell you I'm still listening, so, sing it pretty Sue
